<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 2115489, member: 5066&quot;]Well, not sure this is american as it&#039;s rotary milled oak and carved which would be odd for mid 18th century here. Also the fact the case is not dovetailed, another oddity in this period but rather, seems to be a quasi joined frame &amp; panel chest of the 17th century. The &quot;crease&quot; molding on the vertical &amp; horizontal rails is a 17th-century style and the central panels have 17th &amp; 18th-century style carving. Finally, in 2nd photo, the keyhole is off-center, almost like builder didn&#039;t quite have that worked out in advance, I.E. an amateur or hobbyist builder.</p><p>Add all that up &amp; this could be a 19th century or later revival or home workshop type of piece.</p><p>It would help to see the inside of the chest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
